Today’s post is all about the Bubble Dress and Liberty. Such a glorious combination! One of the first dresses I made for Layla was the Bubble Dress. I loved it so much, and she got a ton of wear out of it. She recently saw this 2014 Liberty print from Jones and Vandermeer, and obsessed...
Today I’m showing you Baby’s first toy. This pattern came from the Purl Bee, and it is utterly precious. Myrtle the Turtle is made with Kaufman Chambray (which I need a whole bolt of!), a favorite Liberty print, and a beautiful gray wool felt from Maureen’s shop. She’s bigger than I expected she would be....
I was on a fabric buying hiatus for 5 months. That’ll do things to you. Especially when a zillion awesome things come out during that time. I’ve done what anyone would do, and have used my January to make up for lost time. I’ve gotten lots of Liberty additions from Alice Caroline Supply and Jones...

Using some of the brand new Spring/Summer 2014 Liberty lawn from Jones and Vandermeer and some felt from Maureen’s shop, I whipped up some Boston pillows. I quilted the...

I thumbed through my most favorite craft books, and couldn’t put down Liberty Love by Alexia Abegg. I love that book so much, and before long, I...

Perfection. How difficult is that to sew? I think I have the pattern and need to make a dress for April
I would definitely say this is one of the easiest Oliver + S patterns I’ve sewn. Its just a bodice and skirt, so you don’t have to worry about putting in sleeves. The Bubble Dress is one of the first dresses I made for Layla, and I kept going after that, so I think its a great pattern. You should give it a try!
